What is Deepnote?

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

What is Glances?

After a year of CVE fixes, Glances 4.5.7 turns to making its alerts tell the truth.

Most Glances releases this year carried security patches: 4.5.2 alone corrected eight CVEs, and 4.5.3 to 4.5.6 kept going, ending with a credential leak through URL config values. 4.5.7 in September broke the pattern with a long list of correctness fixes, many of them alerts that fired on the wrong value or never fired, plus WebUI colouring bugs and a fix for --enable-mcp under mcp 2.0. 4.5.8 in October fixed export edge cases.

Deepnote vs Glances: editorial side-by-side

D
Deepnote
ANALYTICS
2.5

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

◆ Current state

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

◆ Where it's heading

The notebook is being repositioned as a workspace agents operate in, both Deepnote's own agent and external ones like Codex. Releases have slowed from monthly in spring to one entry each in July and October.

◆ Prediction

Further agent capabilities or more external agent connections are the likeliest next move; the slower cadence makes timing hard to read.

Glances
ANALYTICS
5.0

After a year of CVE fixes, Glances 4.5.7 turns to making its alerts tell the truth.

◆ Current state

Most Glances releases this year carried security patches: 4.5.2 alone corrected eight CVEs, and 4.5.3 to 4.5.6 kept going, ending with a credential leak through URL config values. 4.5.7 in September broke the pattern with a long list of correctness fixes, many of them alerts that fired on the wrong value or never fired, plus WebUI colouring bugs and a fix for --enable-mcp under mcp 2.0. 4.5.8 in October fixed export edge cases.

◆ Where it's heading

Hardware coverage keeps widening alongside the fixes (Intel, AMD and ARM GPUs, Rockchip NPUs, LXC containers), and a v4 cutover tag in October suggests repository restructuring ahead. The security run appears to have eased since August.

◆ Prediction

Unclear what the v4 cutover changes for users; until it is explained, expect more 4.5.x maintenance releases.
